+{Robert Brasseur}+Robert Brasseur (b. Abt. 1597, d. 1665)Robert Brasseur was born Abt. 1597 in France, and died 1665 in Nansemond Co.,VA. He married Elizabeth Florence Fowlke in In France. Includes NotesNotes for Robert Brasseur:Name: Robert BRASSEUR Sex: M Birth: 1597 in Carpentras, France Death: 1665 in Nansemond, Virginia Burial: 1665 Calvert County, MD Immigration: BEF. 1636 Nansemond, Virginia. I found a patent for a Robert Brasseur for 1200 acres. These patents were intended to reimburse the colonist for the cost of the passage. Each person that paid their own way or the passage of another was given fifty acres. Robert's patent was for twenty-four persons including "Robert Brasseur, Florence his wife and many others.(1) Thousands of Virginia's early settlers arrived in the colony as a result of the headright system. Under this system, anyone who paid for his transportation (or someone else's transportation) to Virginia was entitled to receive 50 acres of land for each immigrant transported to Virginia at his expense. In order to receive a land patent under the headright system, an individual would petition the county court for certification of these rights. The certificate was then recorded in the county court minute books. The petition for a certificate was usually filed soon after the arrival of the immigrants, while proofs of the claim where fresh. The documents certifying these rights, formally termed "transportation rights," but commonly called "headrights," were used as paper currency and freely sold, bartered or assigned to others at or near the time of certification. For that reason they could have remained in circulation for a considerable time before ultimately being tendered for land. Before 1705, these rights could have been claimed for multiple arrivals of the same person.This family became prominent in Nansemond County, Virginia in 1653. They moved to Calvert. County, MD in about 1658. He died in about 1665. !Book 975.5. G864 Greer, "Early Virginia Immigrants 1622-1666" has listings for Katherine, Bennet, Persie and Mary as 1653 immigrants by Robert BRASSEUR of Nansemond County, VA..According to Virginia Immigrants, 1623 - 66, Robert Brassuer sole for . sponsored many immigrants including John Abby, William Bal, Jon Barefield, John Bott, George Daldye, Ra Ellis, Symon Iran, George and Florence Ivory, Jon Loyd,William wooten, Thomas Parker, Elizabeth Pateman, Jon Stephens, Marg. Stockwerll and Jon Sutton; ; and Katherine, Persie, and Mary Brasseur in 1653; and Peter and Reeve Besairdier in 1640.They fled from France to England and then to the colonies by the 1630's. The connection to this family is also a connection to the DAR {daughters of the american revolution} and Huguenot Genealogical Society.Birth: ABT 1598 in France Immigration: ABT 1635 Virginia Death: ABT 1667 in Nansemond Co., VA Occupation: original landed proprietor, 1638, in Nansemond County, VA 1 Religion: Huguenot Note: 1Here are a few snippits from vol 1 of A BRASHEAR(S) FAMILY HISTORY:Robert BRASSEUR, the Huguenot The first BRASHEARs in America were Robert and Benois BRASSEUR, French Huguenots, whose family name was anglicized as BRASHEAR. It is known that Robert was considerably older than Benois, perhaps as much as 22-24 years, for he starts appearing in land records in 1635, whereas Benois does not show up in land records until 1653. It is known that Benois (also called Benjamin) had a father, a brother, and a son named Robert. I believe that this Robert BRASSEUR or BRASHEAR was Benois' father. Robert BRASSEUR (pronounced with an accent on the last syllable: BrasSEUR; also spelled Brassieur, Brashieur, Brashier, BRASHEAR, Brashears, Brasheur, Brassure, Breshear, Brushier, and about 35 other ways) was born in France, some time before 1600, and migrated to England in 1629 and to Virginia in the early 1630's with at least seven children. Benois/Benjamin BRASSEUR/BRASHEAR was also born in France, probably about 1620. They were Huguenots, that is, Puritan-Protestant dissenters, followers of the teachings of John Calvin, ======================================================================= =[My Direction to John Johnson 1590 England]=1.

Sir Walter Raleigh and Elizabeth I had an affair in which a child, Edward, was the result. The queen could not acknowledge this child. Sir Walter supposedly had a shipmate named Smalley in Devon who agreed to raise the child. It is rumored that the Queen and Sir Walter visited the child on several occasions. Many people denied the story but others felt that Sir Walter Raleigh was the father. Since he was quite the ladies man, it seemed likely it could have happened but looking at the time of the birth the queen would have been too old to have a child. Another source says the basic story is true except that the mother of Edward was Throckmorton, a Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Elizabeth, not the Queen herself. The attendants required her permission to marry which the Queen was unlikely to grant since Walter was one of her favorite gentlemen.Edward Small Came to America about 1632 probably from Dartmouth, England where the family had been one of high character and position. He is said to have come under the auspices of his kinsman, Sir Ferdinando Gorges. He, with Champernown and others, founded Piscataqua, which was afterwards divided into Maine towns of Kittery, Eliot, South Berwich and Berwick.He was on a grand jury in 1640 in Saco and a magistrate in Falmouth in 1645 and later went to the Isle of Shoals. Although he built a house in Piscataqua, before 1643, as a grant of one hundred acres made to him by Thomas Gorges, the deputy governor of the Province of Maine, he lived in it for five years and then sold it and probably returned to England since no records could be found after the sale.Marriage 1 Elizabeth SHURT\SHIRT b: 1603Children: 1.Francis SMALLEY b: 26 OCT 1625 in Bideford, Devon, England 2.Elizabeth SMALLEY b: 6 JUL 1627 3.Mary SMALLEY b: 5 MAY 1629 4.Edmond SMALLEY b: 2 MAR 1629/30 5.Elizabeth SMALLEY b: 10 OCT 1632 6.William SMALLEY b: 4 FEB 1633/34The story begins with John Smalley and Edward Smale, immigrants from England to Mass. and Maine. John, a tailor was the first to arrive. He came to Plymouth Colony, Mass. June 5, 1632. He married Ann Walden, Nov. 29, 1638. The family moved to Nausett (Eastham) on Cape Cod and lived there 23 years. The next move was to Saconnet, R.I. and a little later Piscataway, Middlesex County NJ. John died July 30, 1692 and Ann died Jan 29, 1694. They are buried in Piscataway. Edward Smale was born about 1600 [1589 by other sources] and lived in Bideford, Devon, England. He was a clothier, manufacturer, and merchant of woolen goods. He married Eizabeth and was the father of six children. He and Francis the oldest son, sailed for America about 1635. He stopped at Plymouth to see John Smalley and then settled in Maine by 1640. He worked at various occupations in and around Kittery, Maine. He is presumed to have returned to England as his wife and three younger children never came to America. She died in 1665 and is buried in the old church yard in Bideford. Edward was still living. His death date and burial place is not known." Edward Small, the presumtive father of Francis, came to Maine under the auspices of his kinsman, Sir Ferdinando Gorges, about 1632, or possibly a few years later. He and Champernowne, together with several others, founded Piscataqua, which has since been divided into the towns of Kittery, Eliot, South Berwick and Berwick. He was in Piscataqua in 1640 and seems to have been there some years. He was a magistrate in 1645. He sold a part of his land in 1647 and perhaps went to Dover, New Hampshire; plssibly he went to the Isles of Shoals. All in all it is most probable that he tired of a rough life in the wilderness and returned to England. Tradition says that he and John, the founder of Eastham, were brothers, and many facts strengthen that tradition. The name of this wife, I have not yet learned. "arrived in New England with Edward Winslow in the "William and Francis" sailing from London 9 March 1632, arriving in New England 5 June 1632...was granted 1637-40 several acres of land in Plymouth County, which he sold in 1644...in April 1644, he was among the group from Plymouth to remove to Eastham, far down on Cape Cod...at Eastham, he helped to organize the place, and then about 1667, with his wife and two sons he removed to Little Compton, Rhode Island, but soon afterward with Richard Higgins and others he removed to Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey where he was among the earliest of pioneer freeholders..."

The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South's decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built.
